A Kramer electric guitar played by Eddie Van Halen on tour across North and South America in 1982 and 1983 will hit the auction block this fall, carrying a pre-sale estimate of $2 million to $3 million.

A previous Sotheby’s sale for a guitar owned by Van Halen — that one on display in the band’s “Hot for Teacher” music video — netted $3,932,000 in April 2023.

Based on his iconic 'Frankenstrat' design, the axe was used by Van Halen on tour before finding its way into the hands of Mötley Crüe's Mick Mars.
